Please koders what can I do to solve this issue?

Let me make it clear on what this app is doing!

Previous the app was giving the user to choose what type of content to download eg. the user could choose to download YouTube Thumbnail or Video, Facebook Thumbnail or Video, Instagram Thumbnail or Video, Tiktok Thumbnail or Video

But some Youtibe, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok video links were not working, so I then found a new way to use some third parts website to configure the links and get the Video url by using JS Command Evalute and I did’nt implement the codes within the app but I just used Airtable to call the codes for in case if that third party website fails to run or changes its DocumentQuerrySelector eg. when you paste a Facebook video link the app will try to use webview with JS codes to get the video url by using the JS code (post-url) and sumbmit the video by using the JS code (fs-submit)

So if the third party site changes the method querry for JS I will then try to see the changes and modify them into my Airtable and the app will keep runing or I can turn into another workimg website this would help me not to update the app everytime.

Hello great koders I know this can be solved because I see a lot of apps that access YouTube Videos etc such as Vidmate and etc on the Playstore and they have never been removed from the store. so what is the secret!

Pease suggest me what can I do to solve this issue with Google Play Store!
Kind Regards to all

Once I Also Got Similar Rejection
Can you Send attachment image ? which is sended by play Console

Ohh Now I Got it the reason of rejection :sweat_smile:

Reason of rejection

First of all play store will never ever will accept a Youtube video downloader as it violates its policy

Just remove the function of youtube video downloader inside app using
If then Condition And Also Remove the youtube word from Guide How to Download In Step 1

And Remaining All is Fine That’s All Now Update your app & Send for review

They just sent one screenshot which is only this and there is no any other image!

#4

Do Just What I Said and For review
Mine was also similar to this

#5

:point_up::point_up::point_up:
So you mean I should terminate YouTube from downloading?

But previously they accepted the app and it was downloading the YouTube video why now should’nt or you mean at first they were not aware of my app what is doing?

#6

So yours is not downloading Youtube Video?:roll_eyes:

#7

Google don’t always check in detail what every app is doing when you upload it to the Play Store. But eventually they will catch up. Comply with their TOS and you will be fine.

Exactly if you wanna your app live on play store then follow its policy
